BROOMFIELD, Colorado , February 25, 2014 (press release) – Horizon®, a leading national organic dairy brand, today announced the launch of six new Horizon Mac & Cheese products. These new macaroni & cheese products mark an important step in the brand expanding outside of the dairy case. Available in organic and made with organic varieties, Horizon Mac & Cheese products provide a new way for families to enjoy the goodness of organic and the Horizon brand they have come to know and trust.

“Horizon Mac & Cheese is an ideal option for families who love the taste and convenience of macaroni & cheese, but want to trade up to options with organic ingredients, that are free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, colors and preservatives and that are made with non-GMO ingredients,” said Mike Ferry, Horizon president. “It is gratifying to expand the trusted Horizon brand beyond the dairy case with these new macaroni & cheese products to offer busy families more choices when it comes to a staple loved by kids and parents alike.”

The organic varieties carry the USDA Organic Seal and contain at least 95 percent certified organic ingredients, while the made with organic products contain at least 70 percent certified organic ingredients. All Horizon Mac & Cheese products are produced without genetically modified (GMO) ingredients and all are made with real, Horizon organic cheese.
